Kirchhoff's second law is a consequence of a basic principle. What is this principle?

A.
The charge flowing in an electric circuit is conserved.
B.
The energy in an electric circuit is conserved.
C.
The sum of the electric currents entering a point in an electric circuit is equal to the sum of the electric currents leaving that point.
D.
The sum of the potential differences in an electric circuit is equal to the sum of the products of the current and resistance.
